FBC: Firebreak - The Breakpoint Update Trailer

The Finnish company Remedy Entertainment released FBC: Firebreak last June, following a rather aggressive commercial strategy: the title was published on day one on both major subscription services, PlayStation Plus and Game Pass. This choice guaranteed access to a vast audience of users, but it was not enough to determine the success of the operation: FBC: Firebreak disappointed, recording a high abandonment rate during the first hours of gameplay.

Unfortunately, Remedy conceived a video game with promising premises, but still lacking a precise identity: we explain it well in our FBC: Firebreak review. To avert the danger of this shooter's support being cut prematurely, as unfortunately has happened to a large number of productions in recent years, it was essential to reverse course as soon as possible. Remedy has placed its hopes in a major update that could make the experience more appealing.

Will Breakpoint be the turning point?

This update, called Breakpoint, has just arrived and improves several aspects of the game, from the introductory hours to the gameplay loop, passing through new weapons, new enemies, and more: you can find the details in this article. Breakpoint was accompanied by a short trailer, which we are sharing with you. Remedy already plans to further refine its work: the next major update is scheduled for November.
